Former Royal Air Force engineer David Richard Smith is accused of state benefit fraud the disgraced forces veteran is a stark contrast to the efforts and determination of RAF veteran charity fundraiser Captain Tom Moore.
The former ROYAL AIR FORCE engineer, 70 of Hugh Gaitskill House, Butler Road, London, NW10 is accused defrauding housing benefit by under declaring the amount he currently receives monthly from his state pension and armed forces pension and has assets overseas jointly owned with his sham marriage partner Senait Woldetsadik who live at separate addresses both are supported by the tax payer.
The serial and vexatious litigant who has consistently mounted several claims all totally without merit and each case leaving him thousands of pounds in debt to solicitors and legal support.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations can reveal that on at least two occasion the hapless vexatious litigant in person has sought help from legal specialists and paralegals and against advice has proceeded with several claims that were hopeless and meritless claims which have been dismissed and then only to accuse the specialist help solicitors or paralegals of fraud.
Sham Marriage
Financial Fraudster News Investigations can reveal that the estranged couple have for some years, hidden from the benefits agencies, built and owned a holiday apartment in Ethiopia, despite living separate lives London now Woldetsadik has conveniently settled in the United Kingdom while Smith continues mislead state authorities that he was homeless until the charity Stoll helped.
But the propensity for the greedy and fraudulent Smith to hide behind his veteran status and seek help from the state for housing benefit while he continues to receive over £2000 per month from several pensions and then has knowingly and wilfully taken advantage of charities such as Stoll when in fact the seventy year old is alleged to have entered into a sham marriage with the thirty-something Woldetsadik, an Ethiopian national.
An employee of Haringey council who contacted Financial Fraudster News Investigations said “This is the exposure that the likes of Smith who has never seen combat service but pretends because he is a veteran deserves everything for free and commits fraud and abuses our immigration system with his estranged wife by circumventing immigration controls he needs to be investigated.”
Financial Fraudster News Investigations spoke to Victor Amadigwe a solicitor at Haringey Law Centre who stated: “...that Smith has a history of bringing cases without foundation and totally without merit and when the judge strikes out or dismisses his claims he then wants to find a way to get his money back by any and all means possible including fraudulent representations regardless of the harm it may cause to others.”
Serial Litigant
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen several court documents that show that the vexatious litigant Smith owes over £37,500 in costs orders for his reckless claims and we have seen evidence that show that Woldetsadik has been sacked by Marks and Spencer Plc for stealing and has been caught twice and cautioned on each occasion by TfL investigations appeals and prosecution team for fare dodging.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations can reveal that the chairty Stoll the leading provider of supported housing to vulnerable Veterans and who support veterans in hardship has been misled by the benefits fraudster Smith who has pleaded with Stoll for help while he prevented his former landlord entry to her property 10 months after the heartless Smith and Woldetsadik had refused to leave the property at Millicent Grove, London, N13 6HS the owner Mrs Hannah Hariz sought possession and sued the benefit cheat and was awarded judgment for over £5000 and costs from Edmonton County Court in January 2020.
